If Richard Rodgers were still alive, he would have turned one
hundred years old on June 28, 2002. There have been numerous
national and international special events honoring him. It has
been said his music is the most performed of any American
composer. "In 2001 alone, the Rodgers and Hammerstien
Organization, which oversees all of Rodgers' musical and theatrical
interests, licensed three thousand eighty-five of his shows. If
you were to calculate the number of performances that Rodgers' shows
have had on Broadway, the total would be twenty thousand four hundred
and fifty-seven, or figuring eight a week, the equivalent of fifty years
of a Broadway run." (The New Yorker, July 1, 2002) Rodgers'
work as a composer, especially within the context of musical theater, is
legendary. He wrote hundreds of songs including show tunes,
popular standards and orchestral music - waltzes in particular.
